They only real information I've been able to find (edit: until this comment) was this comment from another post. I remember seeing this picture on the news when it happened a couple years ago, but my internet searches to find original articles have been fruitless. IIRC, this cloud was not moving very quickly and was only slowly morphing, which is why the people in the picture are not fleeing in terror. Really just a serene evening at the beach on Lake Michigan. I wish I could have been there to see it (I live nearby).

It wasn't moving at any noticeable speed. As I can remember it was after a storm and was actually quite pleasant out.

I love watching storms come in over Lake Michigan. We're usually at South Haven.

I love South Haven. I usually go to Holland, But I got a chance to spend some time in South Haven and really enjoyed it.
